We are delighted to bring you the Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment Review!

As mums we have all, at one point in time sought out the best nappy rash product in Australia to treat our little one’s rash, and it can be difficult to know which brand to choose. This is why we’re trilled to select a team of mums for the Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment Review, so they can try the ointment at home with their little ones, and let other mums know if they rate this as one of the best nappy rash products.

How does the Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment dual action help to heal and protect against nappy rash?

  • The Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment helps protect against nappy rash by providing a long lasting breathable waterproof barrier, keeping the skin hydrated. This barrier helps to protect baby’s skin from the irritants that cause nappy rash.
  • It contains pro-vitamin B5 which promotes the natural healing process by stimulating the regeneration of new skin cells, giving skin a helping hand.
  • It creates a protective film over the skin, stopping moisture escaping, preventing further drying and helping to stop aggressors from permeating the skin.
  • It’s specifically formulated for baby’s delicate skin.
  • It’s free from all colours, fragrances and preservatives.
  • It’s a gentle choice to help treat and protect baby’s delicate skin from nappy rash.
  • A clinical study* has shown that using Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment to help protect baby’s skin at nappy change leads to a lower incidence of nappy rash.

Where can I buy Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment?

Bepanthen Nappy Rash Ointment 100g, is distributed in all leading pharmacies as well as Coles and Woolworths.

  • So good

    Bepanthen cream has a nice scent and is easy to use for on the go.
    Its a good consistency and is easy to apply.
    Its great for sensitive skin and I feel it easier to spread then sudocream.
    My dad also used it on his tattoos when they were fresh.
    I hope this helps!

  • Love the stuff!

    I use bepanthen regularly and make sure I have some in stock because I LOVE it! I’ve tried other brands and other products but bepanthen seems to be the best in clearing the red from the skin. My son has a double chin and water gets trapped where is neck and chin meet and it can turn red, the first time I noticed it, I put bepanthen on it and in no time at all it was cleared up, I’ve previously used other products but havn’t gotten the same result. Very happy with bepanthen as a product, a small amount goes a long way!

  • Got rid of nappy rash in <12 hours!

    My daughter has very sensitive skin.. We use bepanthen not only for nappy rash but for grazes and eczma! Bepanthen has relieved our daughters nappy rash in less then 12hours! I would recommend bepanthen to all mothers as a must for the nappy caddy and bag! I always make sure I have plenty on hand and use it on a daily basis!

    Bepanthen is the only ointment I find to fully soothe as well as not stick too harshly to baby’s skin like sudocream. Bepanten , I also found, apart from use on baby and tattoos, is also great postpartum for all those painful grazes!

  • Best product.

    With sensitive skin, my baby is prone to nappy rash. I’ve been finding it very hard to find a product that helps soothe and heal her skin. Bepanthen is the only nappy cream so far to work so effectively as to soothe her discomfort and heal nappy rash and redness overnight.

  • Good for little bottoms

    We were selected to review Bepanthen nappy rash cream. Whilst we are in the midst of toilet training this cream is so helpful while our daughter is teething. She is getting two year old molars and her poor bottom has been a little red. Getting selected to review came at the exact right time and within about 24 hours I noticed no more red so whether you have a new born or a toilet training toddler this may be helpful for you.

  • Effective cream for nappy rash

    My baby’s bottom gets red from time to time and I find I only need a small amount of this cream, and it clears up straightaway. I’ve tried many different barrier creams and this is the top one I would recommend to family and friends. I’ll definitely be buying this product again.

  • My go-to for nappy rash

    This is my go-to for nappy rash. We use cloth nappies and it works well with the cloth nappies. It’s reasonably priced, smells and feels ok (compared to some other brands), and most importantly WORKS. It also comes in a variety of sizes which is handy. I always have a tube in my bag!

  • The only nappy cream you need.

    When pregnant I was given lots of different nappy cream recommendations. I purchased Bepanthen and have stuck with it ever since. Thankfully we never suffered severe nappy rash in my household, but Bepanthen was applied at the first signs of discomfort and had instant relief and effect. Very happy with this products and would strongly recommend.

  • Bepanthen cream

    Bepanthen Cream has been used for many years so this goes to shoe the great results it has given. I used it on nappy rashes on my kids and grandkids. I have used it for myself and I use it on any outer rashes and dry skin. I have even used it on the heels of my dry feet and received good results. The elbows which get dry and many other areas are beneficial to this product.

    I was using Sudocream but found this to be very thick, Bepanthen was similar but not as thick and easier to apply on my kids. Much easier to take around in the squeeze tube as well, I have one at home, in the kids bag and the car (for emergencies) I recommend this to all my mummy friends with little kids.

    I use this for my son.
    I love how fast it works and how fast it soothes the sore nappy rashes.
    It was so smooth to go on which was great because I worry about hurting him more over the rash.
    He healed really quick and now I use it as a preventative during hot days when I worry he might get another rash

  • Best bottom cream on market

    This is the only nappy rash cream that i would recommend. Bepanthen nappy rash ointment is easy to use. The lid is easy to use mid nappy change, the ointment can be rubbed in clear or layered thickly. And the little bottoms are soothed. Not only is it good for nappy wearing littlies, but also for the bigger kids learning to wipes properly. Relief is quick and rashes clear overnight. This ointment also prevented rashes appearing. Can also be used on light excema with good result.

  • Amazing on sore bottoms

    I tried a few different nappy creams, but Bepanthen nappy rash ointment is the only one that soothed the red bottoms of my children. Not only did Bepanthen soothe, but it also helped prevent nappy rash in the first place. Bepanthen nappy rash ointment is easy to use and doesn’t stick to your fingers like others. It goes on smoothly and has a fresh smell. It creates a good barrier aswell. Two thumbs up from me.

Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!

But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier). 

You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!

Pack Smart, Not Big

Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?

Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and

  • A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
  • A dry bag for clothes
  • A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
  • A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
  • A pop-up tent for changing
  • Waterproof phone case
  • Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
  • A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!

“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member

Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts

It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:

  • Swimming between the flags at the beach
  • Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
  • Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel. 

Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.

That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!

Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier

  • The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
  • Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
  • SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
  • Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
  • Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.

Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.

Prep & Time It Perfectly

There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.

“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member

Pack Smart Snacks

Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:

  • Chopped fruit
  • Crackers
  • Boiled eggs

“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member

A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!

You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!

New Banana Boat Sport SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml and Banana Boat Kids SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml (RRP $28.00) are available now at leading pharmacies, supermarkets and online retailers nationwide. 


Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.
